His family is from the city Bahia, Brazil. From growing up in New Jersey, Sanchez became a part of the electronic music scene developing in New York City around that time. As a sophomore in high school, Sanchez would get dropped off from his school bus outside the train station so he could visit record labels like Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, and Freeze, to sit and wait to be noticed by record executives. Gladys Pizarro was one of the first to acknowledge his presence and give him records to play out. Sanchez also attended shows at Sound Factory Bar where Frankie Knuckles and Louie Vega often performed. He cites the support and inspiration he received here as defining moments in his career.〔 Junior met DJ Armand Van Helden, selling T-shirts at raves. Soon after Armand invited him to a party in New York where he met Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez, and others which quickly became his close circle of mentors and peers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Junior Sanchez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
